Abstract

Standard definitions of causal closure focus on where the causes in question are. In this paper, the focus is changed to where they are not. Causal closure is linked to the principle that no cause of another universe causes an event in a particular universe. This view permits the one universe to be affected by the other via an interface. An interface between universes can be seen as a domain that violates the suggested account of causal closure, suggesting a view in which universes are causally closed whereas interfaces are not. On this basis, universes are not affected by other universes directly but rather indirectly.

论因果结束语的漏洞。
因果闭合的标准定义侧重于所讨论的原因在哪里。在本文中,焦点被转移到它们不存在的地方。因果闭合与另一个宇宙的原因不会导致特定宇宙中的事件这一原则有关。这种观点允许一个宇宙通过接口受到另一个宇宙的影响。宇宙之间的接口可以被看作是一个违反因果关闭的领域,这表明宇宙是因果关闭的,而接口不是。在此基础上,宇宙不受其他宇宙的直接影响,而是间接影响。
